Correct answer: Configure the SageMaker Studio Domain to use IAM Identity Center (AWS IAM Identity Center / AWS SSO) authentication so users sign in with corporate SSO and identity is managed centrally via IAM Identity Center..
Why this is the answer
IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) is the correct choice because it directly addresses all requirements: centralized identity management, single sign-on (SSO), and integration with existing corporate identity providers. This allows users to sign in with their familiar corporate credentials. IAM authentication would require creating and managing 400 individual IAM users, which is not scalable or efficient for SSO with an external IdP. While Amazon Cognito can federate with corporate identity providers, IAM Identity Center is AWS's native solution for centralized access to multiple AWS accounts and applications, making it a more integrated and simpler approach for SageMaker Studio. A service-managed identity store does not integrate with corporate identity providers and would require analysts to create new AWS accounts, which is not the desired outcome.
